Stop me if you've heard this one: A werewolf walks into an art gallery. .

. Raine is happy running her small art gallery and frame shop, and flirting with the handsomest customers.

She doesn't want anything permanent, let alone a relationship that comes with built-in issues before it even starts. But when Thorstein walks into her gallery, looking like a giant blond Viking and acting like he's afraid he'll break something, she finds herself wanting to put him at ease.

Except Thorstein's life is not his own, because he's not only a werewolf, he's a berserker, and his father has kept him on a magical leash, used him as an enforcer, for nearly a century. To escape his father's control and take back his life, Thorstein and Raine will have to ask the one person Thorstein has been unable to face for decades, a man he nearly killed under their father's direction, and who has every reason to hate him: his younger brother Magne.

And if Magne won't help, then there may be no future for Thorstein and Raine. And even if he will, it could be too late.
